Sorry. How do you know this?

Butler is installed and running in the background.

As far as I remember, Butler is NOT installed and doesn't run in the background.

If you want to use Butler as a command from any path on your PC, then you must add the Butler folder path to your operating system's Path Environment Variable.

If you don't add it to the Path Environment Variable, then your terminal must be in the same folder where you downloaded the Butler executable.


EDIT:

Please review these steps again:

Alternatively, Windows will look into the current working directory when looking for commands

First run
To make sure butler is installed properly, open a terminal (cmd.exe on Windows), and type the following command:
butler -V
(that's a capital V, casing matters)
It should print something like that:
